Developing Intentional Leaders

What it is: This is individual assessment and coaching for Designated Team Leaders who need to grow their capability. We provide evaluation, a growth plan and support for its implementation.

Best for: Any leader that wishes to improve their effectiveness in leading their team.

Time frame: Assessments take 4-6 weeks to complete in preparation for a coaching assignment. Coaching is usually a six month mandate renewable upon mutual agreement. Coaching comprises a weekly phone call or in- person meeting.

Results: The leader grows in the areas of challenge and changes their behaviour to enhance their effectiveness and productivity. For example, some leaders resist delegating enough, reducing their own effectiveness. Other leaders get results but they ignore the collateral damage they inflict on those around them. Others can manage performers with their same working style easily but struggle in getting good performance out of those whose working style is very different. We work with all of these challenges and more to help the designated leader elicit high performance not out of each individual but out of the team as a whole.

Tell-tale signs your team may need this service:

The leader may be new to this role and wish some additional support to “get it right” in dealing with the first 90 days or with a new challenge that the team has

The leader may be having difficulty making tough calls

The leader may have key team members that need this support

The leader may be trying to establish a performance culture in the team and is unsure how to go about it.

Why not fix your underperforming team?

Many teams operate well below their potential. They are fragile, divided, easily derailed, and often mistrustful. Intentional Teams, by contrast, are robust, aligned, and focused. They achieve great things. They define careers. They become legendary.
